BRIDGEPORT, Pa. --
Indiana University freshman Shae Fournier (Winnipeg,

assists and four steals to earn the February 7 Women's Varsity
Western Division Player of the Week award. The honor marks

The freshman made several key plays
down the stretch for the Hoosiers during their 15-13 OT win at UC
Davis, including an earned five-meter penalty that Jakie
Köhli (Jr., Burnaby, B.C., Canada/Moscrop Secondary)

five-on-five, launching in a long-range goal to give the Hoosiers a
two-score lead during the fourth quarter. Fournier also added an
assist, two steals, and a pair of field blocks against the
Aggies.

Against USC (9-1 L) and Hawaii (8-3
L), Fournier dished out a total of three assists. She converted a
five-meter shot to pull the Hoosiers within two during the fourth
quarter of the loss to UCLA (9-4 L), while also grabbing two steals
and making one assist.

Fournier also recorded a single
assist against No. 9 San Jose State (10-6 L) as she raised her
season and career numbers to four goals and seven assists with a a
team-high 13 steals, including five multi-steal performances.
